Watch the VOD online!

The recanalization of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) has become an important and promising procedure to open closed coronary arteries, and thus treat silent or overt myocardial ischemia to provide perspective on improving patient outcome.

12:00     Finalization of the 1st case in live

12:15     Q&A session with live chat

Educational objectives

- Upgrade the knowledge in CTO technics (radial/femoral/antegrade/retrograde access, dissection re-entry, laser angioplasty...)
- Discuss the stent choice after recanalization according to the type of artery lumen, the length of the lesion, the quality of run-off artery bed, stent caracteristics and performances...
- How to assess the stent results : angioplasty, IVUS, OCT...
- Compare the CTO technics and approaches of different expert operators

Target audience

Interventionnal cardiologists interested in CTO technics and selection of coronary stents

A special quiz is available on this VOD, in the "quiz section". Play and test your CTO knowledge!
